En förflyttning av bilresor till cykeltrafik har många fördelar, t.ex.förbättrad folkhälsa genom ökad fysisk aktivitet och minskadeföroreningar och trängsel. En slät yta med adekvat friktion är viktigt förcyklisternas trafiksäkerhet, komfort och framkomlighet. Sprickor ochojämnheter är vanligt förekommande underhållsrelaterade brister som ärkopplade till cykelvägens nedbrytning. Ett syfte med den A shift in modal share from car driving to cycling has many benefits, e.g.,health benefits from increased physical activity and less pollution andcongestion. A smooth cycle path surface with sufficient friction isimportant for cyclist traffic safety, comfort and level of service. Cracks andsurface unevenness are frequent maintenance-related deficienciesassociated with the degradation of the struct

Simulating temporal changes in breast tissue has been challenging, despite advancement in virtual clinical trials. This study aims to enable virtual trials over time, motivated by interest in the effect of tissue involution on tumor visibility. We present a framework for creating 3D voxel-based breast phantoms and lesions using in-house Perlin Noise-based algorithm. The framework consists of three

Aims: The objective of this study was to compare the risk of developing type 1 diabetes in individuals with celiac disease, hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism to that of individuals without those conditions. Materials and Methods: In this retrospective, observational, matched-cohort study based on real-world claims data, individuals with at least one diagnosis of celiac disease, hyperthyroidism (e

Aims: Privileged access interviewing (PAI) has traditionally been used to reach illicit drug users and other ‘hidden’ populations. How PAI data compare to other self-reported data have seldom been discussed. We compare data from patients in opioid substitution treatment (OST), gathered through PAI and researcher interviews, respectively, to investigate whether PAIs and researchers are reaching com

Background It is well known that illicit use of methadone and buprenorphine is common among people with an opioid dependence. Less notice has been taken of the fact that these substances are also used for extended periods of self-treatment, as a way of handling barriers to OST. In this study, motives for self-treatment are investigated, as well as attitudes and perceived barriers to OST among drug

ObjectiveThe study aimed to explore attitudes and beliefs among midwives, obstetricians, and neonatologists regarding umbilical cord clamping practices, including scenarios involving neonatal compromise. The study was conducted in the context of exploring the potential for implementing intact cord resuscitation.Study designA national cross-sectional survey was administered electronically, using anObjectiveThe study aimed to explore attitudes and beliefs among midwives, obstetricians, and neonatologists regarding umbilical cord clamping practices, including scenarios involving neonatal compromise.

Coffee is epidemiologically linked to health benefits and risks. Coffee is thought to be a diuretic. However, it can still contribute to daily fluid intake. Vasopressin is the most important physiological regulator of body fluid balance and diuresis. This study aimed to map the effects of coffee intake on vasopressin concentration. In the population-based cross-sectional Malmö Offspring Study (n =

INTRODUCTION: Epidemiological evidence suggests the association of preserved ratio impaired spirometry (PRISm) at baseline with the risk of heart failure (HF), however, the associations between transitions of PRISm and incident HF remain to be clarified. Furthermore, the causal relationship and underlying biological mechanisms linking PRISm and HF are unclear.OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to invest

Introduction: Patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) have a dismal prognosis. The majority of patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage, and for these patients, the only possible treatment is palliative chemotherapy. There are increasing data from retrospective studies indicating that a subgroup of patients with liver-limited metastases may benefit from surgical treatment of liver

BACKGROUND: Few population studies have assessed the prevalence of various psychiatric disorders separately for sexual and gender minority groups, and none in an adolescent population. Given the increased mental health problems in sexual and gender minority groups combined, the present study aimed to estimate prevalence of mental disorders in separate sexual minority groups as well as gender disco

OBJECTIVES: Penicillin V (PcV) is considered the first-line treatment for community-acquired pneumonia in Scandinavian countries, although data supporting this recommendation are scarce. Thus, this study aimed to compare PcV and amoxicillin regarding the risk of treatment failures in children aged >5 years and adults treated for pneumonia in primary care.METHODS: In this retrospective study of hea

Att placeras på HVB är en av de mest ingripande insatserna inom socialt arbete. För ungdomar innebär den ofta att tillvaron blir präglad av förändring och en känsla av att framtiden är osäker. Licentiatuppsatsen fördjupar kunskapen kring existentiella utmaningar som kan uppstå i denna process. Studien har en teoretisk utgångspunkt i existentiell filosofi och fokuserar på hur grundläggande livsvillWhen young people are placed in residential care (HVB) it is one of the mostfar-reaching interventions in social work, often involving significantdisruptions to their everyday lives, future outlook, and sense of self. Whilesuch placements frequently raise questions about meaning and freedom thesechallenges remain largely unexplored from an existential perspective in bothresearch and practice. This

BACKGROUND: Catheterization of the vein is frequently a painful procedure. Assessing venous cannulation induced pain (VCP) before surgery have been used to predict the intensity of postoperative pain and postoperative opioid consumption. The aim of this study was to investigate the intra-individual variation in venous cannulation induced pain at three consecutive time points and factors influencin

CONTEXT: Statin use is associated with increased risk of type 2 diabetes and mild hyperglycemia. The underlying mechanisms are not well studied and the effect of statin treatment on GLP-1 secretion or production are unknown.OBJECTIVE: To assess the effects of rosuvastatin on GLP-1 secretion and production.METHODS: We performed association studies in the Malmö Diet and Cancer study cardiovascular c
